The arrest of the former mayor of Izberbash was extended
The Sovetsky District Court of Makhachkala extended the arrest of the former mayor of Izberbash in Dagestan, Magomed Isakov, for two months.
 
Isakov was detained in October. A criminal case was opened against him under Part 6 of Article 290 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (receiving a bribe on an especially large scale).
 
According to investigators, in 2019, Isakov received a bribe of 3.9 million rubles in the form of money and a foreign car from a developer for failure to take actions related to the cancellation of a permit for the construction of a house. Security forces conducted searches in the city administration and in Isakov's house. After his arrest, 37-year-old Rasul Bakayev was elected the new mayor of Izberbash.
 
In April of this year, the head of the land and property relations department of the Izberbash administration, Abdulmejid Aliyev, and lawyer Akhmed Gadzhikurbanov were detained.
